Tell me about those who like watching Hong Kong movies.

Originally, I only planned to write Hong Kong films in the 1990s, but more than one friend mentioned why there was no 1980s. I thought about it and decided to write an article. After all, the 1980s was the peak of Hong Kong movies. The peak mentioned here does not necessarily mean the best movies, but from the perspective of production quantity, market and type, this decade has laid the foundation for the glory of Hong Kong movies.

If Jiahe is a personal filmmaker, then New Art City is a film group. The creative team of New Art City has a struggle room, which is less than 10 square meters. Everyone stayed up all night thinking about the script in such a small place. There are not many people in the New Art City, but everyone has their own talents, so a movie actually gathers everyone's wisdom, and everyone does what they are best at, and * * * completes a movie with Qi Li. Therefore, it can be said that the emergence of the New Art City has greatly accelerated the maturity of Hong Kong genre films, because they have created a precedent for various types of films, which no one has tried before. 1982, best partner, imitating James Bond movies but localized and funny, breaking box office records and creating miracles. Later, Huang Baiming wrote and participated in the "Ghost of Joy" series, leaving the best childhood memories for many children who love fantasy. Needless to say, Tsui Hark, John Woo and others used their new wave heart to shoot commercial genre films, which injected a lot of personal style and artistic sense while shooting genre films. The New Art City has made more modern funny films, gangster films and gunfight films mainstream.

In the 1980s, it was more than ten years before Hong Kong returned to China. Although Hong Kong people know that this is still something they have to face after more than ten years, some people are still drunk today. In the past ten years, Hong Kong films have developed to their best at their own pace before the situation changed. This decade, the mainland has just been reforming and opening up for a long time, and most Hong Kong films have not yet reached the mainland. Hong Kong movies have shocked audiences in Hong Kong and Taiwan provinces again and again, and also swept the world, setting off a whirlwind of Hong Kong movies in Japan, South Korea and Southeast Asia. For example, John Woo's "Hot Blood Man" even aroused enthusiastic cheers from western fans at overseas film festivals ... This is the best time, because our China films were once the top in the world. This is also the worst time, because the mainland, which is far away and close at hand, hardly expected that the films made by China people could have such great influence. Again, today, I selected ten of my favorite Hong Kong films produced in the 1980s, recommended good films for everyone, and reviewed the once brilliant Hong Kong films.

65438 +0 bloody duo

Director: John Woo

Year: 1989

What is the aesthetics of violence? ! What is loyalty? ! It is a bloody and cruel thing to show violence in movies. However, John Woo made the heroes in his films incarnate justice, principle and loyalty. In this context, seeing Brother Fa killing hundreds of people in endless slow motion wearing a suit or a trench coat with a pair of guns, he didn't think it was cruel or wrong to kill people like this at all, on the contrary, it made people feel very substituted. He longed for himself to enter the screen and kill people with a pair of guns in the church.

The loyalty described in John Woo's films is by no means superficial or playful. As long as you are a person with even a little integrity, you will be infected by his films. The loyalty in his movies is not like the The Fast and the Furious series, where two guys casually say a few seemingly manly lines. They are good brothers who appreciate each other. The friendship in John Woo's movies is meaningful, not vague. I am loyal. The characters in his movies have many details and behaviors to support the feelings between the characters, so that our audience can see this person's behavior and say that he is really loyal, not just superficial affectation. It's a pity that many female viewers of the same age, even male viewers, have a wrong understanding because too many movies are not well made now. Girls watch The Fast and the Furious too much and say that you boys like this kind of brotherhood, which is beyond our understanding. Actually, it has nothing to do with gender. The reason why many girls can't understand these movies now is that they are empty and don't grasp the key points. Loyalty is not the end of fighting and killing on the surface, but actually an emotion beyond race and gender, and actually a kind of humanity. When you see another person, male or female, who is really willing to give everything for you, I think anyone will feel very moved. If you are a conscientious and kind-hearted person, you will naturally choose to treat him as unreservedly as he treats you. This is a heartfelt emotion inherent in human nature. Instead of what some girls think, boys like this kind of fighting, which is big and bloody. We girls just like watching Disney princesses and can't understand these violent things. When sir Li shouted Zhuang's name and rushed out with a shotgun to shoot for him, the emotion contained in the film jumped out of the screen and hit the hearts of every audience.

There is actually an anecdote about this movie. Before I was born, my father had a large collection of videos of Hong Kong movies. Once his house was stolen, the thief not only stole money, jewelry, etc., but also stole the video of "Hot Men".

Second, never lose.

Director: Jackie Chan

Year: 1985

Thanks to Jackie Chan, if it weren't for him, no one would know buster keaton. Thanks to buster keaton, if it weren't for him, no one would like Jackie Chan. Never Say Never, the first modern film in Jackie Chan's directorial career, is one of the best action movies in film history. The climax of the shopping mall at the end of the film is insurmountable. Jackie Chan's directing style is deeply influenced by buster keaton. He shows the space distance through the vision to highlight the smallness of people. When shooting dangerous actions, there are no clips in the mirror, which achieves the strongest sense of reality.

Throughout the film history, the last time someone made such an action, it had to be traced back to buster keaton in the silent film era.

When I was a child, because of this movie, whenever I saw the escalator, I wanted to jump around and do dangerous actions. Never say die is not only a milestone in Asian action movies, but also has a great influence on Hollywood action movies. (Now Hollywood blockbusters will seize every opportunity to break the glass, saying that they are not influenced by Never Give Up. No one will believe it. Jackie Chan tried to break into Hollywood with the help of Detective Veyron, but failed again. Because he was dissatisfied with the level of American directors, Jackie Chan decided to go back to Hong Kong to write, direct and act a modern action film, thus creating the miracle of the best film in the Hong Kong Academy Awards. When Jackie Chan jumped off the seventh floor of the shopping center, we knew that this desperate Hong Kong movie had killed all the Hollywood blockbusters.

Regarding why he is willing to make so many dangerous moves for the film, Jackie Chan once said, "Many people ask me, are you afraid of finishing that? Of course I'm scared. I said I'm not superman. I am just an ordinary person, just like you, but I have enough courage to do it. And ... yes, I'm interested in movies. I like movies. I regard movies as my son. Then I knew that after I finished filming, the film could be put on for a long time. And when I watch a movie, I can tell my friends, my son and my grandson that it will be me when I am 80 years old!

The third prison situation

Director: Lin Lingdong

Year: 1987

How many confidants do you have in this world?

How many friendships can last forever?

Parting today * * * You two shake hands.

Friendship is always in our hearts.

After watching this movie, my first reaction was that I would contact my best friend in junior high school.

The role played by Tony Leung Ka Fai in the film is a typical honest man who is ignorant and tactful in the face of the vicious prison world. And the role of Chow Yun Fat, although he is a careless, unrestrained person, likes to joke and giggle, and knows how to be a man, but also because he is essentially a kind and upright person, he can't be integrated into any gang, so he must always be vigilant and smart to survive in this world. He is the only one who can help the role of Tony Leung Ka Fai, because he is kind. Although it means that he will get himself into a lot of trouble, he still doesn't want to see this honest man bullied by others in isolation. However, these two absolutely good people are destined to be bullied by others, because others are not so honest, and for their own interests, they will always plan to bully an honest man like you. This is actually no different from the real world we live in.

He always said that he couldn't bear to calm down for a while, but he was bullied so much that he finally broke out. Once I showed this movie to my mother, and after watching it, there were tears in her eyes.

The fourth ghost play

Director: Sammo Hung

Year: 1980

This film, written, directed and performed by Sammo Hung, combines classic works such as horror films, ghost films, comedies, kung fu films, action films, fantasy films and zombie films, creating a wave of zombie films and triggering a series of zombie films directed by Sammo Hung and starring Ching-Ying Lam. I first saw this film on TV when I was in primary school. At that time, I thought Sammo Hung was just a famous comedian. I was surprised to see the writer and director. I couldn't imagine that his fat body could make so many flexible and difficult movements. Bet with others that if you live in a house for one night, you have to live until the next morning according to the instructions of experts. This setting scared me terribly when I was a child. The story of hiding on the beams to avoid zombie search makes people hold their breath. Actually, believing in ghosts and zombies is the same as believing in UFOs. When I saw a book about UFO when I was a child, I definitely wanted to choose a side station. Should I join the believing party or the unbelieving party? Of course, it will be more interesting and exciting if you believe it! If you are a little boy who loves fantasy and is eager for adventure, how can you say that I believe there must be no ghosts, zombies, UFOs and aliens in this world? Ghost makes maoshan taoist's casting very detailed, just like the real thing. There are also the appearance of zombies, as well as the display of various folklore and magic techniques, which all look very real and credible, creating a real spiritual world. In the climax, the Monkey King versus Nezha and Hong Haier versus Lv Dongbin were really exciting. Sammo Hung played the Monkey King like the Monkey King and Hong Haier like Hong Haier, which left an indelible impression on me when I was a child.

Fifth place Shen Du.

Director: Jing Wong

Year: 1989

When I was a child, there was a TV program called "God of Gambling" at ten o'clock in the evening. My parents said the film was very good, especially good. They are born like this, and good things will be praised, because they really feel extremely good and particularly important. Basically, everyone is reading this article written by me now, and it is no different from them, just in a different form. I thought at that time, is it really that beautiful? Then I must see how beautiful it is. But it's annoying to play at the most critical moment, that is, AG restores the gambler's memory, while the previous fool's memory is gone. When he doesn't know the truth, he even puts in advertisements. I always went to bed early and got up early when I was a child. It was 12 o'clock. I really can't hold on, so I have to go to bed. Although I didn't finish watching it at that time, Gambling God was definitely one of the most shocking movie-watching experiences when I was a child. I really don't think my parents lied to me. It's really beautiful. I really want to know how the story will develop and how the story will end after AG regains his memory. Jing Wong's films have traces of imitating John Woo, such as letting dragon five take a gun, which is also learned in a good way. It looks cool. The gun battle in the mall was very good, and it also imitated the gun battle in Odessa in "Forget Me". The amnesia AG picked up the gun at the critical moment, as if his memory had been restored and his soul was possessed. No matter how many times I watch this scene, I can still light the fire in my heart.

No.6 best partner's queen's secret order

Director: Tsui Hark

Year: 1984

When it comes to Hong Kong movies in the 1980s, the best partner series is a classic that has to be mentioned. When Jackie Chan was still playing shuttlecock on the bench in the Republic of China, the best partner of New Art City had already started the trend of modern fashion action movies. It's a 100% entertainment feast to see the dangerous flying stunts and all kinds of funny plots like James Bond's movies in a movie full of China people. One of the best films in the best partner series is the Secret Order of the Third Queen directed by Tsui Hark. Just by listening to the title, you know that this film must have borrowed a lot from James Bond films. At first, I watched two classic villains in James Bond movies, the hatter in Goldfinger and Kouga in Underwater City. King Kong, played by Samuel Hui, climbed the Eiffel Tower and had a thrilling duel with two villains. Tsui Hark integrated his imagination and unique sense of rhythm into this film. The first two movies were extremely shocking at the beginning, but at the end of the performance, I felt powerless. Although it is also exciting, it is not as shocking as it was at first. The third film directed by Tsui Hark is the most compact and complete. Moreover, we should know that the 007 film Thunder of 1985 was also shot in the Eiffel Tower, but The Secret Order of the Queen was a film of 1984, which was one year earlier than Thunder. At this point, Hong Kong movies are even ahead of the authentic 007 movies in the West, which is admirable. In fact, when I was a child, I always thought that Samuel Hui and Jackie Chan were very similar, with the same hairstyle. Both of them are very funny. There are wonderful flying stunts in the movie, and the series "Best Partner" also makes Samuel Hui know how to play.

No.7 butterfly fairy

Director: Chu Yuan &; Tun Fei Mou

Year: 1980

Produced by Shaw, it must be a good film. Think of a large number of horror films produced by Bernard Shaw in those years, which are short, pithy, extremely scary, sexy, fragrant and full of cult atmosphere. Disc Fairy is a Shaw horror film composed of two stories. The first story is "The Bell" directed by Chu Yuan, who is a Cantonese feature film director and one of the four directors of Shaw. The second story is the Disc Fairy directed by Tun Fei Mou, who is notorious for Black Sun 73 1. The first story is the strangeness and horror of the East, and the second story is the bloodiness and pornography of the West. I admire director Chu Yuan very much. The rhythm of his storytelling is unique, usually faster than the reaction time of the audience, so even a very simple story, I feel very enjoyable to be led by the nose, wave after wave. "The Bell" has a lively rhythm, a strange picture and a horrible atmosphere, which is not much worse than the current James Wan horror films. While "Disc Fairy" is full of bloody and naked pictures, and its scale is comparable to erotic porn, but I have to admit, it looks really enjoyable. The final way to die is also unexpected, bloody, violent, yellow, cult, no one can be less. Putting coins on paper and burning paper with cigarettes in the second half is one of the most creative, imaginative and exciting gambling I have ever seen. Twenty-seven years later, Quentin and Rodriguez produced the masterpiece "Torture Room". Although the inspiration actually comes from the fact that B-rated movies in the Mill are often shown twice in a row, who can say that Torture Room does not have the same Xiao horror film model?

Other candidate films: Diary of the Wicked, Shaolin Scaffolding Master.

A Lang de Storey No.8

Director: Du Qifeng

Year: 1989

This film is the best interpretation of the story of the prodigal son. Here, I would like to quote my good friend Chen's short comment on this film: "From disheveled long hair to neat short hair, his prodigal years were cut off, and what was cut off was the regret, nostalgia, care and protection that precipitated with the years." In the blazing fire, A Lang watched his beloved come running until blood blurred his eyes. I think this style should be the best footnote of the song "Your Appearance". " Brother Fa cut his hair short and looked back. It was really handsome and brought strong sadness to the final tragedy. The character A Lang is basically commenting on a real man. When he was young, he was a teenager and made a big mistake. Now he just wants to be a good person. Although I am poor with my son, I am very happy. When a wife comes back from America, she can provide good material conditions for her children, but she is the person who has the most emotional connection with them. For the sake of the child's future, he would rather sacrifice himself, drive the child away and force him never to come back. He was really wrong before, but now he wants to repent. He just tried to forgive, but he couldn't understand. Finally, from the first-person perspective, his wife and son laughed when they watched him drive by, but his face was covered with blood and he didn't have the strength to go back and reunite with them.

The true story of epilepsy No.9

Director: Dong Chengyi

Year: 1986

Once in junior high school, I was in a serious period of worshipping foreign things and obsessing foreign things. Because at that time, I just started to fall in love with movies as a fan. I thought foreign movies were good, foreign actors were serious, foreign directors were attentive, and China movies were rubbish. At that time, I actually hated the Hong Kong movies I liked when I was a child. I thought they were rough and fake, even though I didn't know foreign movies at all when I was a child, only these Hong Kong movies could be understood. But when I was in junior high school, I watched the movie "The True Story of Epilepsy" on TV, and it still completely attracted my attention, even though I was initially critical of China's movies. The whole movie looks very shocking, especially the long shot of Qin Pei's mental illness being beaten all the way by the masses at the stairs, and the impact is very strong. The scene of Qin Pei entering kindergarten with a knife is really scary. The whole atmosphere was created, and the sense of terror was exaggerated. The children are singing innocently, but the bloody murder is hidden in excitement and may break out at any time. It can be said that it is difficult to find works that can achieve such a good situation in western movies. The feeling that negotiation fails, there is no way out, outsiders can't get in when they see it, and nothing is done is suffocating. Behind this terrible fear is actually the prejudice and incomprehension of the society towards the mentally ill, a special vulnerable group. The world needs more tolerance and understanding. There are many occupations that sound disgraceful and don't earn much, but they are actually very important, and they have always been engaged by enthusiastic people, but we just don't know it.

10 xiaohu line

Director: Chen Xunqi

Year: 1985

Chen Xunqi and Wong Kar-wai are really golden partners. Wong Kar-wai first wrote plays for Chen Xunqi, and Chen Xunqi later provided music for Wong Kar-wai. Their cooperative works have produced many classic works. "Little Fox Fairy" is not a great and profound film, but what is good about it is that it makes people feel comfortable. The story is actually very simple, with short duration, bright rhythm and relaxed music, which makes people experience laughter, sadness and tears in a short time. This movie expresses a very interesting theme: Do you love someone because of her looks or do you really love her? If your girlfriend suddenly turned into an 80-year-old woman overnight, but her memory and soul didn't change at all, would you still love her, would you still want to kiss her or even go to bed? If you really love someone and love her soul, will you love her no matter what form she appears? This movie is full of hilarious jokes that other movies can't see, and it is pure, not as grandiose as the nonsense in the 1990 s. The love inside is sincere and touching, and the ending is imaginative and memorable. It is a romantic comedy that should not be missed.

This is my personal favorite 10 Hong Kong film from 1980s. There are no best and worst movies, only favorite and least favorite movies. Therefore, the ten films I chose are just a reference. Everyone has ten movies that they will choose. If they are willing to share, I hope more people will show their ten choices.
